I am almost finished with the rigging but in the meantime I worked on Henry. The sidcot is painted and the base applied for the Leopard Skin Helmet and Gloves. The reddish primer on the boots will not look this way when finished.

Henry's looking good Rick, looking forward to seeing him standing by his Camel.

Thanks Richie. Like I said the rigging is almost done. Only the control wires remain now. The kit I won on e Bay with the last of the decals I need should be here tomorrow. Hoping all is finished in a week or less.

Who said that he could not paint figures? Some people cannot be trusted to tell the truth....!

Henry is shaping up very wonderful Rick . What did you use for the primer on the legs ?

Terri

Thanks Terri. The "primer" is a Valejo color. I will have to check for the exact number.

There Be Dragons Here!
I received the Hobby Craft Camel Kit and have been successful in applying them to My Camel. (They will be replaced when Pheon releases their Camel Aces sheet) . No serial was supplied in the HC kit so I will have to do without.

PS: Rigging is nearing completion 

PPS: A BIG THANKS to Gene who really tried hard to help me make home made versions of the Dragon Motif!

Dragons there be!  So close to completion now but can I just rewind a few pages and ask which white paint you used for the S you had to paint? Preliminary trials with MRP white over PC10 on plastic card were not great for me.

Thanks Richie. The white was Tamiya XF2 flat white. Misted on first then sprayed a little heavier per Bob von Mask Masters  advice to Me! Masks were removed before the white was completely dry.

This looks better with every update Rick. Not long to the finish now.

I may be able to cut you the serial for the rudder.
Let me see what I can do over the weekend.
What I can say is that the serial mask, if successful, will be black with no white fringe.  My machine is good, but it ain't that good!

Carry on...
